Advocacy and engagement sit at the heart of CYJULERC’s work. For years, CYJULERC has operated at the intersection of law, health, and community realities, ensuring that Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) are not only recognized in policy—but protected and practiced in everyday life.
This learning category is built directly from CYJULERC’s on-the-ground experience engaging communities, supporting survivors, training paralegals, working with health facilities, and collaborating with judicial actors across Cameroon.
The Advocacy & Engagement courses equip learners to:
Understand SRHR as a human rights issue, not just a health topic
Design and deliver community-centered advocacy strategies that work in real contexts
Engage traditional leaders, faith actors, youth groups, and institutions on sensitive SRHR issues
Navigate stigma, resistance, and silence around SRHR conversations
Link community advocacy to legal protection, health services, and accountability mechanisms

This category draws directly from CYJULERC’s experience in:
Community sensitization on SRHR and Gender-Based Violence
Legal education on consent, sexual violence, and survivor rights
Engagement with Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and conflict-affected communities
Advocacy for access to lawful post-rape care and survivor support
Training of paralegals, community volunteers, and youth leaders

Learners do not study advocacy in theory—they learn from what has been tested, adapted, and proven in Cameroonian communities.

By the end of this category, learners will be able to:

Facilitate difficult but necessary conversations around SRHR
Build alliances across health, legal, and community systems
Support women and girls to claim their rights safely and confidently
Most advocacy training stops at messaging. CYJULERC Academy goes further by teaching:
How to engage communities without causing harm
How to advocate while protecting survivors
How to translate laws and policies into community-level action
How to sustain engagement beyond one-off campaigns
The focus is not loud advocacy—but effective, ethical, and survivor-centered advocacy.
In contexts where SRHR remains stigmatized and treated as a “no-go zone,” advocacy is not optional—it is life-saving. CYJULERC Academy’s Advocacy & Engagement category ensures that those working on the frontlines are equipped not just with passion, but with skills, strategy, and responsibility.
